Tell The Government You'd Rather They Not Spy On Your Every Online Move

I should have posted this back when I signed it, but it's not too late to add your name and try to stop this awful Conservative Government legislation from passing.

The government is trying to ram through an anti-Internet set of electronic surveillance laws that will invade your privacy and cost you money. The plan is to force every phone and Internet provider to surrender our personal information to "authorities" without a warrant.

This bizarre legislation will create Internet surveillance that is:

  • Warrantless: A range of "authorities" will have the ability to invade the private lives of law-abiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile devices, without a warrant or any justification.

  • Invasive and Dangerous: The laws leave our personal and financial information less secure and more susceptible to cybercrime.

  • Costly: Internet services providers may be forced to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will be passed down to YOU.


If enough of us speak out now the government will have no choice but to stop this mandatory online spying scheme. Sign the petition now, and forward it to everyone you know.→


If you care at all about your rights and freedoms and are proud to live in a country that doesn't stifle its people to the extent of oh, let's say China, go to StopSpying.ca and sign the petition. The criminal code may need a bit of modernizing here or there to catch it up to newer technologies, but this goes further than should ever be necessary.

Privacy has been a thing of the past for decades! I personally don`t care if someone knows who I speak with on the phone or what I do on the internet. I have more important things to spend my time on.

Wow. Not even sure how to respond to that. I just hope you don't complain when you get caught up in something that you need not get caught up in. I can't stand the I have nothing to hide argument. Everybody has a private life, and this petition is trying to ensure that your private life isn't stripped away from you.

No I no longer have a private life thanks to the goverment. They destroyed that back in 2007. AND no one gives a damn. So why should I?

I should add that I believe with all my heart that nothing in this world goes un-noticed. There is a God and it is NOT the goverment!

Okay, you are right about a few things. They ruthlessly use what they know about you against you. Even if it`s something really good like strong family values. It`s all about CONTROL. Their motto is CRUSH,KILL and DESTROY! "Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world". You take care Steve! That WAS the name of my youngest.
